Full details
This Bonda Woodfill Two Part Filler is designed for woodworkers and DIY enthusiasts needing a fast-setting solution for repairing timber defects. Its key benefit is rapid hardening, allowing for quick finishing work. A caveat to note is its specific suitability for redwood tones, requiring potential color matching for other wood types.

FAQs
What is the working time for this filler?
The working time is short due to its rapid-hardening nature. Always mix only what you can apply within a few minutes.
Can I use this filler on painted wood?
It is best applied to bare wood. If applying over existing paint, ensure the paint is sound, well-adhered, and lightly sanded for better grip. However, for optimal results, bare wood is recommended.
How much filler should I mix at a time?
Mix only the quantity you can use within its working time, which is typically very short. This prevents waste and ensures effective application.
What is the weight of the product?
The product weighs approximately 1.415 pounds.
Can this filler be used for structural repairs?
Bonda Woodfill is designed for cosmetic repairs like filling knots, pinholes, and minor defects. It is not intended for structural load-bearing repairs.
How do I clean up tools after using this filler?
Clean your tools with water immediately after use, before the filler has a chance to harden.
Does the redwood color need to be matched precisely?
The redwood tone offers a base match for similar woods. For other wood types or specific finishes, the filler can be stained or painted after it has cured and been sanded.
Troubleshooting
Filler is not hardening or hardening too slowly
Ensure the two components were mixed in the correct ratio (usually 1:1) and were fully combined. Check storage conditions; extreme cold can affect curing.
Filler is difficult to sand
The filler may have been applied too thickly or was not fully cured before sanding. Allow adequate curing time. Ensure sanding is done with appropriate grit sandpaper.
Poor adhesion to the wood surface
The wood surface was not properly prepared. Ensure it is clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, or old finishes before application.
Color mismatch after application
This filler is specifically matched to redwood tones. For other wood types, plan to use stain or paint to achieve the desired final color after the filler has cured and been sanded.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dust and grease.
- Mix the two components thoroughly according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically in a 1:1 ratio by volume. Mix only the amount that can be used within its working time.
- Apply the mixed filler to the defect using a putty knife or appropriate tool, pressing it firmly into the void.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for use on most wood types, particularly effective for redwood or wood requiring a similar tone.
- Provides an excellent base for paint, varnish, lacquers, and stains. Color matching may be required for significant tonal differences.
Care:
